you're not in a position to worry, cause no one's putting your ass to the fire. When you're in that position, even the slightest possibility's gotta be unnerving.
Mitch McConnell is going to allow a Senate trial during an election year? And the Senate Republicans are going to seriously consider removing from office their party's Presidential nominee?

The House won't even commit to holding a vote yet.

Does he have a choice? Roberts is the actual “judge”, right? Like how does that balance of power even work?

Edit: I’m also not sure the politics of it are that simple. Full on obstruction is probably a good move in full on trump country, but they’ll almost definitely lose the senate with that move.

It also is sort of like admitting there’s something there. On the one hand, they don’t have the embarrassing trial, but on the other hand, the President never really ends up having someone that can string a full sentence together try to exonerate and defend him.

Trump: *snort* *sniff* I've never done any drugs in church I take my cracker and frankly it's very bad for our country that we cannot come together to rake the grand canyon. An absolute disgrace, just the other day someone said "sir, what about ISIS" if you think about I'm dealing with all this crap. No drugs no drugs you're the drugs this is presidential harassment

Trump just completely fails to understand what he did 'wrong'.

"I made the country a lot of money and gave up my TV contracts, why can't I just hustle on the side?"  ???

I bet that on some days he wishes he just continued the Apprentice and never ran for President.
Everything at this point is just utterly bizarre. And "Trump" is this idea or culture that has formed around the myth surrounding the man.
You could essentially do a Trump rally, without Trump.

In the next episode of crazy. The White House Whistle blower who wrote the NYT op-ed is releasing a book in November with more of the same content(TM).
The identity of this whistle blower is still unknown but apparently this person still works in the White House in a somewhat senior role.

Now, here's where it starts to get weird. With Trump thinning the horde of his administration and ruling out Pence, Jared and the Trump kids the general consensus is that Kelyanne Conway is the leaker and the whistle blower.
She has been linked to many White House leaks and has the strongest connections with the reporters publishing the leaked information. In fact, the rumor goes that the tweets on her husbands' account are written by her.
Conway has hinted at her divided loyalties in the past. Saying that at some point she would tell 'her side' of the story and telling Mika (of Morning Joe) that 'she needed a shower' after defending Trump.

So at this point you might say. Ok Kelyanne is the leaker no big deal. But Trump apparently wants to appoint Kelyanne Chief of Staff, replacing Mulvaney who fucked up.
While his aides have looked at other options such as Chris Christie, he's asked his friends if they think Kelyanne Conway would be a good chief of staff.
The same Kelyanne who might be the leaker Trump has been so desperate to find over the course of the last 3 years and never did.

Because many of the internal investigations to figure out who the leaker in the administration is/was have been headed up by (wait for it)
Kelyanne Conway.

No idea, I don't think he's making any money off of it. Dude may have a patreon or something. He's being arranged on federal charges in the next week or so, so maybe he feels he has to ratchet up the crazy before he goes away for a while.

It finally dawned on me yesterday what this whole Ukraine thing is really about. trump wanted to use taxpayer money to make the Ukraine prez have a phony press conference to announce a bogus investigation into the Biden's. Once the headlines were made, it would shift attention away from trumps campaign. Conservative media would amplify and make up more false news about it.

That's all. He's trying to buy headlines with taxpayer money. It never mattered if there was an actual investigation.

The shit show from it would be wild. Thiccary against tulsi in the debates.

Edit: brehvolution, I agree. Manipulating media cycles is the only thing Trump is actually good at. I think that’s why he believes he can bluster his way through this.

For all the fire and brimstone in 2016, I've heard next to nothing lately besides that one Vox piece about the impact of Trump's executive actions on immigration. I expected more of an uproar about turning this into a veritable whites-only country by attacking the lottery and family migration.

Noone actually gives a shit about immigration unfortunately. Neither dems nor reps

I think Bernie is keeping low profile on it, because the republicans will just preemptively tie executive powers before he gets into the white house.

I think it's sadly a lot worse than that and "not caring" is basically as progressive as it gets before polling pretty negatively with the public. Western nations are already struggling to meet their own requirements on asylum seekers, humane treatment and housing of refugees and such.

You know what, though? Philip Vera Cruz and Cesar Chavez didn't ask for anyone's permission to organize us. They didn't have to beg any congressmen, they didn't have to check in with white people first, they didn't have to navigate the bureaucracy to assert their rights and mobilize. One of these days I want to see Tyson Foods shut down for a whole year, the hotel industry fall apart, the food service industry grind to a halt as men and women march in the street and demand to be equal.

I can think of four times Trump's immigration/asylum/border policies have gotten a lot of coverage and pushback: the Muslim ban, rescinding DACA, the shutdown over the wall, and the family separation fiasco.

Not sure if advocates and Dems could have done a better job in highlighting the other rule and policy changes, or if it takes something simple and dramatic (or in the case of baby jails, visible) to break through the noise. Also AFAICT reversing Trump's immigration policies isn't a huge applause line for 2020 candidates the way M4A and college subsidies are.

Sure, I remember all of that. Everyone who was involved in the early stages of reporting on that (the lawyers, the activists, the volunteers, the issue reporters) were invaluable, I'm glad they exist, and I'm not trying to diminish what they did these past three years.

Yeah, I think that's what it is. That's the inherent difficulty in any kind of advocacy - keeping interest and attention. To be clear, it's not that I wanted wall to wall coverage on cable news, I just wanted the smaller minority of people who routinely consume this kind of news to be aware of it. This is one of the most serious changes to happen in immigration policy since DACA status was revoked and it affects millions of people.
